Share a writing tool that's worth sharing

As the saying goes, good: 工欲善其事, its prerequisite. As a technology craftsman, not only need good development tools, good development tools can improve our efficiency, but we also need better writing and summarizing tools, so as to improve our technology, learning and summarize the ability. As a developer and programmer, the most popular writing tool of the past two years is markdown. Jane, CSDN and GitHub pages support the markdown format. So the writing tools we recommend today are about markdown.

Markdownpad

Markdownpad is a full-featured Markdown editor under Windows. Users can use convenient keyboard shortcuts and toolbar buttons to remove the Markdown format. When you create it, you can see the Markdown document in HTML format in real time. When the user is typing, the livepreview automatically scrolls to the location of the current edit. Supports exporting formats such as HTML and PDFs.

The Markdown tool on Windows computers is not the focus of today's presentation, and the focus today is on the markdown tools used on Mac computers. As a developer, more and more programmers are using Apple to develop, but the markdown tool supports fewer Apple computers. For example, there are commonly used MOU and Macdown tools, but I personally think that these two are not very useful. So the next I recommend this is still more useful.

Markdown format of technical articles, I tidy up also more convenient. Ha ha...... What about this selfish selfishness?
